Terminal City: Aerial Graffiti #3

The third chapter of Dean Motter and Michael Lark's Terminal City: Aerial Graffiti arrives with a striking cover by Mark Chiarello that frames its tension in pure chessboard geometry — orange and brown squares filling the background while scattered chess pieces surround a figure whose wide, anxious eye peers through fingers pressed hard against their face. It's an image that speaks to pressure, strategy, and something coming unraveled, rendered in Chiarello's bold, flat palette of deep blue and amber. A confident midpoint entry in this 1998 Vertigo series for mature readers.
